Sprinting Prosthetics

Xiborg nu

Xiborg nu is a competition prosthesis particularly designed for sprints. Based on the biomechanics of athletes, the stiffness and thickness of the spring have been optimised to the effect that any elements unnecessary for running have been eliminated. In addition, the sprinting prosthesis has a completely new shape as compared to other models. The large curve facilitates push-off in the contact phase, while the proximal centre of gravity supports forward movement in the swing phase.

Statement by the Jury

The innovative power of this sprinting prosthesis lies in its accurate optimisation of material and its sophisticated geometry, which are optimally adapted to the movements of athletes.
